Lights do not match

frantinez63 · 10-29-03, 01:59 AM

I could not wait for a set of coupe EDM clear corners and I cheaped out and bought the aftermarket ones. But, as many posts have stated, the APC clear corners do not match my stock headlights at all! Are there any bulbs I could put in the clear corners to get them to match better? I have read previous posts that said the PIAA wedge bulbs match the silverstars but I don't have the silverstars and want something to match the stock heahlights. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in adance.

I have OEM USDM corners and have not bought clear corners yet, but have heard so many complaints about the cheap ones. I saw something on Ebay that might help. Give it a look:

I am not sure if that will make the bulbs match up better....could anyone with the aftermarket clears and stock headlights give their opinion? Thanks.

The reason the aftermarket clears do not mach is because they are new and your head lights are not. I replaced my headlights with my corners and they matched perfectly. I would recomend polishing your headlights. That should help. Now if you are just talking about the color of the light, then you are on your own. I went with the full PIAA xtream white bulbs. The corners were much more blue than the headlights, but I liked it that way.
Later!
